Old Master Qin had been anxious and fearful on his way, even wanting to slap himself several times in front of Shu Yatou.
He was truly afraid that Shu Yatou would hate him!
If Shu Yatou hated him and really didn't marry his grandson, he would surely be so heartbroken that he'd want to commit suicide!
His willpower was too low.
Now, hearing Yun Shu say she had already guessed, and in such a calm tone, without any blame towards him, he, who was about to shed tears to gain sympathy, now truly couldn't stop them, no need to deliberately cry.
Tears streamed down his face, burning with emotion.
"Shu Yatou! Ever since I knew I had been drugged with the mi gu shu, I've been in a constant state of worry! Shu Yatou is Shu Yatou, so wise!"
The heart that had been hanging high finally landed.
Yun Shu looked at the Old Master Qin, who was weeping uncontrollably, feeling a mix of helplessness and pity. After all, he was a respected elder she had known for many years, and the great-grandfather of Xiao Jing and his three siblings.
She gently consoled him, "I don't blame you. If anyone is to blame, it's the one who used the mi gu shu on you."
"To put mi gu shu on an old man like me, wasn't it just to ruin our relationship! No, to ruin the relationship between you and my grandson! How insidious! To resort to such crooked means!" Old Master Qin gnashed his teeth in anger.
Yun Changfeng was not much better, his teeth clenching, grinding with a clack, emitting a palpable aura of killing intent and rage, "Old Master Qin is right, it's too insidious! To think that in the capital, someone would dare to use crooked means!"
Looking at the two furious men before them, Yun Shu and Zhan Tianye exchanged a glance.
Compared to the two elders, they seemed to have lost all their temper.
"You rascal, this is all your fault! If you hadn't provoked that Jiang Luoxi, how would she have thought of using this method to break you and Shu Yatou apart!" Old Master Qin was now convinced that it was Jiang Luoxi who was behind it all.
The answer was, in fact, quite obvious.
The bell originated from Jiang Luoxi.
But there was no evidence to prove it was Jiang Luoxi.
"Jiang Luoxi has the Empress Dowager, and even the Regent behind her. This matter is not easy to resolve," Yun Shu said with a deep voice.
Old Master Qin's eyes widened, furious, "What? Are we just going to let her go? Shu Yatou, no, I cannot swallow this. In all my years, no one has ever dared to toy with me like this!"
Zhan Tianye also spoke with a cold tone, "Indeed, she cannot be let go."
"Of course!" Old Master Qin's eyes narrowed again. "If you play dirty with me, then don't expect me to play fair. This old man wants to play dirty, and no one can outplay me! Didn't she fill my mind with a bunch of chaotic and slanderous things about Shu Yatou using mi gu shu? I'll use her own tactics against her!"
These words were delivered with such grandeur!
So astonishing!
The true image of that business titan was fully revealed.
Yun Changfeng was stunned.
It seemed that he had overlooked something today, or even before, which was that Old Master Qin was not just an ordinary old man, but a national tycoon who had dominated the world of commerce.
Moreover, he had heard whispers of it before.
Old Master Qin's methods were exceptionally skillful. He had never failed in any business venture, and anyone who had tried to scheme against him ultimately regretted it.
Or rather, none had succeeded!
Just this statement alone commanded respect.
Old Master Qin, being such a shrewd and perceptive person, regretted his words after speaking. In his haste, he had revealed his true self. He cautiously glanced at Yun Changfeng, "Well, I was just too angry."
Yun Changfeng, however, responded with righteous indignation, "That's how it should be!"
On the battlefield, what kind of stratagems had he not employed?
As long as it led to victory, the nature of the stratagems didn't matter.
The outcome was what mattered.
At this moment, the two men, separated by over twenty years, truly understood the meaning of kindred spirits and soulmates.
Yun Shu's lips twitched. She was more concerned about, "What kind of images did the mi gu shu implant in you?"
If the images were not sufficiently vicious, they would not have angered Old Master Qin so much.
"Grandfather, didn't you say you couldn't remember?" Zhan Tianye frowned.
Clearly, his grandfather had lied to him.
Old Master Qin's eyes flickered. Seeing that he could no longer deceive them, he said, "Well, that... that... it's too embarrassing to say. Even if it's fake, it's an insult to Shu Yatou. I only just remembered it."
Although he couldn't recall who had drugged him with mi gu shu, this particular scene had become increasingly clear from the moment he left Qin Mansion until now.
Therefore, Shu Yatou could slowly settle accounts with those people later, but he couldn't!
"Tell us, Old Master Qin. It's not true anyway. I'm extremely curious about the extent of their mi gu shu," Yun Shu said, her curiosity piqued.
Looking at the three curious faces before him, Old Master Qin's face blushed slightly. He hesitantly said, "If you insist on hearing it, don't blame me."
"Tell us!" the three said almost in unison.
Old Master Qin cast another cautious glance around. Seeing no one nearby, he lowered his voice almost to a whisper and said, "It's like this..."
After Old Master Qin finished speaking, silence descended upon the surroundings.
Yun Shu curved her lips, her eyes twinkling, "Interesting. This mi gu shu, which implants images into people's minds through hypnosis, can be manipulated like this? No wonder Old Master Qin couldn't bring himself to say anything when they asked him earlier, no matter how they questioned him."
Although manipulated by mi gu shu, Old Master Qin's inherent pride would not allow him to speak of it.
How much did they want to ruin her?
It was as if she were being unfaithful with people, not just one person, but a group. Yes, according to Old Master Qin, there were at least eight or ten. No wonder the drugged Old Master Qin refused to let her be with Zhan Tianye.
Zhan Tianye's face turned visibly menacing.
Yun Changfeng's clenched fists creaked.
Qiu Lu gritted his teeth in anger.
Seeing their expressions, Old Master Qin looked resigned, as if he had anticipated this. He said helplessly, "I knew this would happen, which is why I was reluctant to speak. Really, it should have been enough to disgust me, an old man. Now, you all have to be disgusted along with me."
This kind of thing couldn't be enjoyed alone.
Suddenly.
With a crack.
A century-old tree was kicked down with a thud!
Leaves scattered on the ground.
The entire ground shook.
Several people looked over.
It was Jing Heng, appearing as if he had emerged from hell, his body emanating a terrifying ghostly aura.
"Master, leave it to me," Jing Heng said, preparing to leave.
"Wait! This matter cannot be rushed, or it will alert the enemy! Didn't you hear your master say that the Empress Dowager and the Regent are behind her? Listen to me, come with me, I have a brilliant plan," Old Master Qin quickly stopped Jing Heng.
With Jing Heng's usual methods, this would ruin everything!
